Summary of 12 Rules for Life an Antidote to Chaos

Human being does not like rules in general despite knowing that they benefit us. We do not want a lot of rules. However, without rules, we are likely to lose a sense of direction and go wayward. Therefore, we need rules.

 

12 Rules for Life an Antidote to Chaos: Rule 1 - Stand up Straight with Your Shoulders Back

The example of lobsters indicate that they reside on the floor of the ocean since they need something secure to serve as a hub where they can hunt. However, since a huge number of lobsters exist, a complication arises if two or more lobsters occupy the same territory. If hundreds of lobsters attempt to hunt for food and keep a family in the same place, it will lead to chaos. Such territorial disputes also apply to the example of songbirds.

The example of chickens also indicates that identities play a critical role in the survival of birds as well. Those who preferred availability of food in the morning are the most important chickens owing to their visible superiority. The second most important are those that come a close second. The hierarchy goes down and the last are the chickens that are in a bad condition, they have a small amount of feathers left, etc. A dominance hierarchy is evident. Songbirds do not live collectively like chickens but the healthiest and most powerful of them have control over the main territory and shield it.

Over the course of millennia, animals that face a requirement to exercise cohabitation with others within the perimeters of a territory have learned several tricks to settle dominance with the least quantity of loss, handling conflict in their own ways. The neurochemistry of a lobster that wins is different from that of a lobster that loses and the levels of serotonin and octopamine makes a difference in this context. The principle of unequal distribution accentuates when a lobster that lost earlier recollects its courage and battles again, the probability of it losing again is high. A winning lobster will most probably win again. The same principles apply to the human financial world, where the few richest people on the planet have the same wealth as the billions of people that are at the bottom. The same pattern is evident in other fields such as science, music, etc., where a small number of people dominate a field in the form of its mastery. This principle is also known as Price's law.
